In 1938, a Swiss chemists, Albert Hofmann, found the substance while researching the plant fungus when they were working at Sandoz Laboratories. Hofmann was looking to develop pharmaceuticals with the hope of finding medicinal uses from fungi. ]]> 2020-12-05 17:31:44 UTC https://padlet.com/njustice18/9dbggwozxjzmoceg/wish/990381873 njustice18 https://padlet.com/njustice18/9dbggwozxjzmoceg/wish/990397845 In 1943, Hofmann accidentally consumed LSD and then found that it produced vivid hallucinations. The laboratory where it was discovered became very interested in its properties as they conducted many experiments over many years. They sold LSD to many facilities such as psychiatric hospitals, and then eventually to the U.S. military. The laboratory had given out free samples which contributed to the wide use of the drug and it becoming popularized in society. LSD became the counterculture in the 1960's. The U.S. military became very interested in the drug's powerful psychoactive properties. ]]> 2020-12-05 17:36:44 UTC https://padlet.com/njustice18/9dbggwozxjzmoceg/wish/990397845 njustice18 https://padlet.com/njustice18/9dbggwozxjzmoceg/wish/990409441 To be more clear, LSD is a mind-altering chemical. Itself, it is clear or white and odorless. It's usually taken orally, by swallowing it as a tablet or liquid. Users experience a "trip" and begin to experience sensationalized perceptions such as "seeing" colors or "tasting" sounds. Items begin to move or talk. Some see molecules and space. "Trips" are different for everyone. LSD can stay inside your body for up to 15 hours while trips usually can last for anytime under 9 hours. ]]> 2020-12-05 17:46:33 UTC https://padlet.com/njustice18/9dbggwozxjzmoceg/wish/990409441 njustice18 https://padlet.com/njustice18/9dbggwozxjzmoceg/wish/991943425 When they bought LSD, they believed it could be used as a truth serum during interrogations. They also used it to "change the personalities" of their targets. ]]> 2020-12-06 18:21:01 UTC https://padlet.com/njustice18/9dbggwozxjzmoceg/wish/991943425 njustice18 https://padlet.com/njustice18/9dbggwozxjzmoceg/wish/991964359 After the widespread and impactful counterculture that advocated against the government, the U.S. government made the possession of LSD for recreational use a crime in 1968. Two years later in 1970, the Controlled Substance Act was passed by the U.S. Congress and labeled LSD as a "Schedule 1" drug. This classifies LSD as "dangerous and without any medical purposes". It also determines that any kind of possession, manufacture, and distribution of LSD is illegal in the U.S.. ]]> 2020-12-06 18:35:37 UTC https://padlet.com/njustice18/9dbggwozxjzmoceg/wish/991964359 njustice18 https://padlet.com/njustice18/9dbggwozxjzmoceg/wish/991976971 -A first offense of possession up to nine grams of LSD can result in up to 1 year in prison, a minimum of a $1,000 fine, or both.

Many people do not agree and are advocating for the decriminalization of all drugs and psychedelics, including LSD. States such as Oregon and Colorado and places such as D.C. have taken steps forwards towards decriminalizing drugs. It is unclear whether or not LSD will remain illegal in the upcoming years. ]]> 2020-12-06 18:59:09 UTC https://padlet.com/njustice18/9dbggwozxjzmoceg/wish/991998137 njustice18 https://padlet.com/njustice18/9dbggwozxjzmoceg/wish/992007496 LSD has contributed to a genre of music labeled "psychedelic rock".
